Zestiria was the game that changed my mind about Tales of

I had a really big bias against Tales of. But Zestiria changed my mind. It was incredible. The Tales of OST, that I hated for being incredibly generic in Abyss was not present. And instead, I heard the marvelous themes by Go Shina. I didn't expect to hear that songs.

While I suffered from end game fatigue with Abyss (three loooong arcs, after all), Zestiria had me hooked from start to finish, and did the endgame right away (I confess that I was surprised at how much I loved to see Jade, I really was a hater before, and I like the series a lot now), without pause, and kept wandering around, because I wasn't ready to leave the game.

Well. To my surprise, Zestiria is hated. I can't really understand. I think that hardcore fans have their views of the series. I can't stop to think that Zestiria changed the series a lot, and it pleased me to no end exactly because it let go of things that I wished were different in the previous games, and likewise, pissed fans that liked that style. Zestiria got me hyped so hard to play Berseria, even more because it is a prequel. I just wanted to say that Zestiria is very underrated. It may be a dissapointing Tales of, sure. But as a game, it is amazing, and it makes me sad to see it being credited so low.

It's garbage like every Tales game since Symphonia.

lol wat?

Zestiria was shit

Abyss, Symphnia, Legendia and Vesperia were masterpieces

Tales died after Vesperia and isn't coing back. Your taste is fucking garbage, don't post about Tale again

Don't even reply to me, fucking swine

I am of the controversial opinion that Graces F is the best Tales game.

Because Talesfags are a spoiled bunch with their nostalgia glasses tied on tight to their skulls, don't expect much of them.

>Tales died after Vesperia and isn't coing back. Your taste is fucking garbage, don't post about Tale again
What about Xillia and Graces F? Those were good

Nostalgia idiots. The newer ones are easily better

>Graces
>Xillia
>Good

We ignored DOTNW because it was a spinoff

Graces was the first shitstain

Xillia was the indicator that tales wasn't coming back.

In terms of gameplay yes. In terms of what makes an rpg an fucking rpg, hell no

Like what?

Plot, setting, characters, etc

I really liked the anime but man I can't get into the game no matter what. The in-game character models look odd to me.

So you just have shit taste in characters and don't like a totally straightforward plot.

Hows that shit taste going for ya?

I'm so sorry.

Haha, I'm not going to argue with you about this. There's no point. You are objectively wrong. You are ltierally mentally impaired if you prefer the new ones. Good day

I said this in the other tales thread but the reason Zesty is so crap is because of how unfinished it is.

I played about 18 hours worth and once you start the quest where you have to grab all the elemental RagaMcMuffins, you really get a sense of just how fucking bad the game is.

It's got some good characters and some interesting plot hooks, but that doesn't matter when that entire section of the game is as vapid as your generic fetch quest in a mmo. It's boring and doesn't serve any place in Tales game. Bamco fucked up.

Because you have no argument other than "I don't like it"
I don't know what part you mean because you said it like a retard.
The only big flaw I can think of from Zestiria is the shitty armor skill system that was convoluted as fuck while not mattering nearly at all.

>hating on Abyss
>loving Zestiria

Well arent you the special snowflake?
But I will admit that I loved Rising Up.

The part where you have to complete the four trials. It's boring as fuck and It grinds the game to an absolute fucking halt. There is a good deal of build up with Rose being added to your party after almost getting your ass kicked by Hedlaf, but the plot just fucks off for a good while while you complete some boring ass dungeons.

I disagree. A lot. But okay.

Tales of camera fucking you in the ass the whole time.
